When navigating from one waypoint to another, you may find you have
wandered off the intended course line. Perhaps you may have avoided an
obstacle, or simply drifted slightly off-course. Whenever you are off-
course for any reason, you may choose either of two methods for getting
back on course.
After passing the obstacle, you may steer the boat back to the original
course line using the Cross-Track error display (Course 1 below), and
continue to the waypoint.
